2 Maccabees 15:33-35

Common English Bible

³³ He cut out the tongue of the ungodly Nicanor and ordered that it be given to the birds in pieces, and he hung the rewards of his stupidity in front of the temple. ³⁴ Looking to heaven, everyone praised the Lord, who had made himself known, saying, “Blessed is the one who kept his own holy place pure.” ³⁵ Judas hung Nicanor’s head from the elevated fortress in plain sight of all, as a clear sign of the Lord’s help.
